Once everything is done, the old locations at www.nongnu.org and
www.gnu.org/software/ won't be updated anymore, so we need to spot
them and remove them. It's a clean-up job.

I think you use the right solution: you need to check
www.nongnu.org/oldname and www.gnu.org/software/oldname.

You say that some teams are hosted in the 'www' project directly. It
would be good to have a list of these, so I can migrate the
directories to the project's webcvs repository. This can be done now.

Once the sysadmin have implemented the new parameter for www.gnu.org
translation teams in the web replication webservice, new commits in
the translation project repositories will update
http://www.gnu.org/server/standards/translations/www-xx appropriately.

Meanwhile, we can progress on cleaning-up the old locations, as well
as migrating directories out of project 'www'.
